After getting the Classic and Classic II back up and running, I decided it was time for a family portrait.
Unfortunately, two of the 'working' machines decided to crap out when I went to take this picture - the Classic II :simasimac: and the Color Classic >
< But the Plus came more back to life than it had! So, looks like I get to dissect three machines again.
Bottom row, left to right:
Macintosh (1983 serial number, no "128k" on the back, but upgraded with a 512k logic board.)
Macintosh SE SuperDrive (Dual 1.4M floppies, PLUS a 40 MB hard drive, 4 MB RAM, Ethernet card.)
Macintosh SE/30 (8 MB RAM, 40 MB hard drive, Radius Pivot video card.)
Macintosh Classic (4 MB RAM, 80 MB hard drive.)
Macintosh Classic II (10 MB RAM, 80 MB hard drive.) - Went simasimac on me when I tried to power it on for this photo after working for the previous hour.
Top row, left to right (was originally meant to house the Color Classic plus the dead models; but the 'wrong one' worked) :
Macintosh Color Classic (with Color Classic II logic board, 20 MB RAM, 80 MB hard drive, Ethernet card.) - Went "crackle, crackle... OZONE SMELL!" when I went to power it on for the photo, after working fine yesterday.
Macintosh Plus (4 MB RAM) - Had been attempting to power up, then rebooting, then attempting to power up, then rebooting over and over when I tested it a few days ago - did that once, then started right up.
Macintosh SE (single 800k floppy drive plus 80 MB hard drive.) - Dead logic board, physically removed from system.
Macintosh SE/30 - Dead logic board, physically removed from system, and stripped of hard drive.
Macintosh SE/30 - Missing logic board (traded along with other stuff to Macdrone for the working SE/30 above.) Stripped of hard drive.
Not shown: Macintosh SE/30 (64 MB RAM, 250 MB hard drive, Ethernet card; I forgot to add it to the lineup, as it's sitting under my desk in my office at the moment.)
